Mr.. Condor at this point interposed from the
platform and succeeded in pacifyng the crowd.
Mr.. Dillon then addressed the people, advising
them TO treat the police with silent contempt,
because home-rule was nearly won. and when it
became established fact the Irish forces
would be under control of the people instead of
their enemies. The speech of Mr.. Dillon had
little effect upon the exaspsrated crowd. and the
conflict between them and the police was shortly
after renewed. From this point of advantage

LONDON, Sept 9.-The question as to the

tonight, and out of the large number of issues
that have been dragged into the consequent dis
putes. many of thom wholly irrelevant, ,numberless
fights have arisen and countless friendships have
been severed. In view of the excited state of
feeling over the affair, it is, perhaps, we'll to ex-
plain that MIR. O Briens decision to ignore the

in order to carry out its intention of arraigning
him before magistrate, the result of con-
ference of his immediate personal and political
friends, who believed that the course
they decided upon would more clearly
define the issue and more exhaustivey test the
questions Of the governments rights to abrdge
or abolish the privilege of free speech and free
political action. The appearance of Mr. O'Brien
in court in obedience to a simple summons, his
friends conIended, would belittle the issue,
while his arrest and forcible arraignment would

to state what course the government would
take in dealing with the Alaskan question.
